In the current Giro d'Italia, all time trial kilometers have been completed after just ten stages. This unusual setup eliminates the late-time trial typically found in Grand Tours, transforming the dynamics of the race. Without this caveat, riders are compelled to make direct attacks in the mountains to gain time and reshuffle the general classification. The earlier time trial has kept the standings close, ensuring that every mountain stage remains critical for all competitors, making the remainder of the race highly competitive and unpredictable.
The absence of further time trials in this Giro d'Italia adds an exciting unpredictability, as riders must rely solely on their performance in the mountains.
This year, the positioning of the time trial has kept the general classification open, leaving everything to play for as riders must attack in the mountains.
